Ashkan Dejagah on target as Mahdavikia benched in E.Frankfurt vs Wolfsburg clash

VfL Wolfsburg 2-2 Eintracht Frankfurt

PA.

Faton Toski's late goal earned Eintracht Frankfurt a share of the points as they came back to frustrate Wolfsburg on Saturday.

Frankfurt had taken a 22nd-minute lead through Ioannis Amanatidis, but Grafite equalised from the penalty spot five minutes later and Wolfsburg were on course for victory after Ashkan Dejagah put them back in front six minutes into the second half.

But with time running down, Toski found the net in the 83rd minute to earn a point for the visitors.

Amanatidis had stunned the home crowd with the opening goal, capitalising on a mistake from Josue to steal possession and nod the ball over the advancing Wolfsburg goalkeeper Andre Lenz.

But the lead did not last long. Aaron Galindo pulled Grafite off the ball inside the area, and the Brazilian stepped up to fire home from the spot.

Edin Denko had a chance to put the hosts ahead in the 36th minute but shot over after good work from Grafite.

Four minutes later, Frankfurt goalkeeper Oka Nikolov denied Zvjezden Misimovic before Nikos Liberopoulos headed over at the other end, and the teams went in at half-time all square.

Liberopoulos had another chance early in the first half but his acrobatic effort did not trouble Lenz.

Moments later, Wolfsburg were ahead as Dejagah lashed the ball home after Marcel Schafter saw his close-range effort blocked.

Lenz did well to deny Liberopoulos at the other end in the 71st minute, and the hosts were looking good for three points until Toski latched on to Patrick Ochs through ball and fired a powerful shot beyond the reach of Lenz.

Wolfsburg had a late chance to win it, but Christian Gentner's shot from the edge of the area crashed back off the crossbar.
